Mother's Day Weekend | Mortgage Broker Fined for Fraud | Canada Post Woes | Jobs Numbers - Good but Bad | Tenant Ordered to Pay A LOT of Money for Non-Res Landlord

In this episode, we explore a bunch of stuff starting with the joy of Mother's Day Weekend. We'll discuss how my wife and I spent our day…watching a roast! Switching to a tougher topic, we'll dive into the recent scandal of a mortgage broker fined for significant fraud, dissecting the details of the case and its repercussions on the industry and trust in financial professionals. The conversation then turns to the latest difficulties at Canada Post, where they're kind of out of money with a declining usage rate. On the economic front, the new jobs report reveals a good news/bad news situation —promising numbers shadowed by underlying economic concerns. We'll break down what this means for the average worker and the economy at large. Finally, we cover a contentious legal decision where a tenant has been ordered to pay a substantial amount to a non-resident landlord, sparking debates on tenants' rights and property laws.
